Yeah, that part about getting to know people in social settings is how we do it here, usually. And a huge yes on being able to walk away back to friends when it doesn't work xD

Re: I had a thought:

It is nice having the option of just going "Oh sorry, I just have to go to my friend and ask her about this thing, talk to you later!" and being able to never ever having to talk to that person again!

Do you guys also do the trying to pair people during whichever social gatherings? Instead of setting people up for blind dates we just usually put two people we think will like each other in a setting that they will have to interact. Usually with the help of a third party until that one leaves.

I realise now that what we do in Norway might seem chaotic and without reason, but it is filled with norms and rules and we all know them so it is basically the same as dates, just without the name and with slightly more people you know nearby

Re: I had a thought:

Hmm, if you mean inviting two people you think might like each other to the same activity, yes. If you mean actually making them sit by each other or otherwise make them interact, and holy shit, leaving the two alone to make them interact... Yeah, some people do that, but I've always hated it with a vengeance. I can approach and hit on people by myself, thanks xD

Yeah, it's only when you try to explain cultural things that you realize how complicated they are.

I should also say, there's a lot of relationship lead-up interaction that happens in similar group settings here, and generally I think people prefer to initially meet and get to know new people with other friends in order to have that easy walk-away option.
